ConceptLinks™ is a series of modules that incorporate the best practices of differentiated instruction to build an array of language, literacy and science process skills around a core science theme. Every module provides spiraled, grade-level science content and vocabulary through Student Books that are differentiated to help students in grades 3 through 8 start at the most appropriate level and make steady progress toward grade-level competencies.

• Direct instruction of reading comprehension strategies and language development skills that align with English/Language Arts and English/Language Development standards
• Standards-based science content that is differentiated and scaffolded to ensure that every student has access to grade-level content at appropriate language levels
• Explicit instruction in academic vocabulary
• Opportunities for students to build background knowledge and connect their personal experiences to academic concepts
• Differentiated Student Books at four reading levels (grades 2, 3, 4 and 5) with middle grades academic content that spirals from book to book
• Content supported by scaffolded, nonfiction text features plus striking visuals and on-page definitions of academic vocabulary
• Multiple opportunities for test-taking practice

“The books are exceptional. They are very student friendly, extremely interesting to the students, and integrate science and reading beautifully ....The students really enjoyed working with the module--and they all improved on the posttest, so I feel great about that.”

“The student books are amazing. The four levels gave all students an opportunity to learn a core concept and build on that concept.”
